What happened: Adam Schefter reports that Rams receiver Puka Nacua has been keeping a journal that he believes helped him through a challenging offseason. Nacua remains the focal point of Los Angeles' passing attack heading into the 2026 campaign. The mental approach is one thing, but the on-field expectations around him have only climbed.

Why it matters: Nacua has established himself as one of the most reliable separators and contested-catch threats at the position, the kind of WR1 a defense has to scheme around. With another full offseason of preparation, the case that he belongs in the league's top tier of receivers is hard to argue against. The journal headline is a footnote; the production is the real story.
